Statements by russian foreign minister sergey lavrov at the minsk international conference on eurasian security became yet another attempt to simulate russia\u2019s \u201creadiness for peace talks\u201d while simultaneously engaging in nuclear blackmail against the West.<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0fIn particular, lavrov claimed that \u201cmoscow hopes Trump still seeks a settlement in Ukraine,\u201d and that russia allegedly \u201chas no intention, and never had any, of attacking NATO or EU countries.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0fAt the same time, he once again accused the EU and NATO of allegedly trying \u201cby all means to persuade the U.S. to abandon the idea of a settlement in Ukraine,\u201d of \u201cpreparing for a new war\u201d with the so-called \u201cUnion State of russia and belarus,\u201d and declared the \u201clack of prospects for dialogue with NATO and EU elites.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0fIn addition, lavrov delivered yet another round of nuclear threats to the West, mentioning the \u201cBurevestnik\u201d missile.<\/p>\n
These statements confirm that the kremlin\u2019s tactics remain unchanged \u2014 pretending to seek peace in order to deceive the U.S. President and buy time without making any real steps toward peace. Moreover, by manipulatively contrasting U.S. and EU positions, the kremlin seeks to provoke tensions among NATO allies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
